The party is on Nov. 26, which is that Monday, but many of the people traveling to Wellington for the Premiere ar finding that the best place to meet up and make plans for Wednesday. Peace, Love and Rock & Roll,

Wellington City Council will be running competitions to win tickets at the Hobbit Market which is on at Waitangi Park from the 25-28 November. Positively Wellington Tourism will also be running competitions for tickets to the grandstands.

So anyone who's in Wellington in the days before the event still has a chance, be it a small one. ;)
